    DNFed a vampire romance because in the first twenty pages, and all within the same three pages or so, the vampire's scent was described as smelling like: birthday cake, butterscotch, cotton candy, chocolate, and some other confectionary that I can't recall. This is supposed to be a lethal predator!
    *Twilight voice*: this is the scent of a killer, Bella. Except the killer is diabetes and heart disease

    I DNF’d a book because the MC was like 16 and saw a random dude in a club with a knife and decided to follow him instead of getting the bouncers, calling 911, and leaving. The dude lead her to a dark back room where a demon hunter info dumped demon lore…to a fellow demon hunter. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves when a plot is forcibly driven by sheer stupidity and illogical BS.

    I DNF'd a book because the death of a villain. The book had already been lethally boring but the last straw was when the main villain's right hand man just got killed in the most bland way in the beginning of the book (it was not the first book in the series) and it got completely ignored. Like that whole thing happening had no value to the people or the plot. Like I'm sorry but I already didn't care about the characters and now they don't even care about each other?! Nah😂

    My petty reason I don't read Elin Hilderbrand anymore is that she ALWAYS uses the characters' first and last names, It is never "Nina came over to visit" it is always "Nina Mobley came over to visit" and she has the most inane names like Celerie so why do we need to know her last name all the time, are there so many characters named Celerie that we need to differentiate?

      It's not a run on sentence, it's a Lisa Jewell inspired sentence 😉 that's valid. Celerie deserves an intervention tbh

    Environmentalist MC decided to lecture a whale-watching boat full of tourists about the horrors of Sea World while working as the tourguide (she even mentioned that she made children cry). I agree, Sea World does some shady stuff in the name of entertainment, but there's a time and a place and the job that you need is not it. Instantly hated her; could not continue.

    I recently posted this in a different video, but I don't DNF much so eh, here it is again. A fantasy book (I don't remember the title) used the word "t'was" so many bloody times that I couldn't stand it any longer. It stood out like a sore thumb when none of the other language changed that much. XD
